Looking for cooking classes in Charlotte, NC that go beyond the ordinary? Whether you're planning a fun date night in Uptown, searching for couples cooking classes near you, or looking to build new culinary skills from home, The Chef & The Dish delivers live, private cooking experiences led by world-class chefs, all from your own kitchen in Charlotte, North Carolina.

What sets our classes apart is that your chef joins you live from the country where the cuisine originates. Prepare fresh pasta while cooking alongside a chef in Italy, master Pad Thai with a chef joining you from Thailand, or explore dishes from Mexico, Peru, Hungary, India, Turkey, New Orleans, and more. It’s a level of authenticity and personal attention that traditional local classes simply can’t match.

From South End to Huntersville and throughout the greater Charlotte area, home cooks are embracing a more flexible and elevated way to learn. Skip the drive and the crowded classroom and instead, cook one-on-one with a professional chef in a fully interactive session, gaining authentic techniques and global recipes you’ll use again and again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. The food was outstanding, as was the wine and the company. Absolutely recommend this for anyone who loves good food and having fun in the kitchen.
